   Interesting. It is amazing how often this happens (not you specifically,   
   but I am talking generalities). Lots of people seem unable to figure out   
   that there is no need to CC a copy of something that they are posting to a   
   public forum. And it doesn't help that many MUAs (and similar/whatever you   
   call them) do it automatically (as apparently, does yours).   
      
   Alternatively, some would argue that it is a Good Thing to do this, because   
   it ensures that the OP gets a copy - because, gosh knows, we couldn't trust   
   them to actually read it in the public forum...
